Shot back in December (i dont have anything newer to use to intro myself lol) at the local Grand prix where some of the Tour De France stars Race. These Two are the leaders who go on to win.

Neil1954, Welcome

Have you read this: http://digital-photography-school.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10894

Number 5 especially will help you post a good start to a thread. At the bottom is a link to FAQ, and (1.) ways to move your photo from other sites to DPS.

Nice shot! I like the expression on the faces and how the DOF leads my attention to the leaders and away from the followers.

Maybe you could have given the leaders some room to the right to "move in to".

I'm ok with there not being space for the cyclist to move into because on the other side of the photo, I can see the rest of the pack so it portrays to me that he's being chased, which gives his facial expression even more meaning.

great use of DOF and a wonderful tilt! And the riders not having any space to move into creates a wonderful feeling of tension which really suits this picture, with the two riders striving for victory.

Great work!

I also like the tilt and no space on the right. It's as if the cyclists moved out of the space on the lefts and already crossed the frame. I only think I would move the whole frame slightly down to see both hands of the front cyclist. Otherwise, I think it looks great.
